    Brandon Rios how does he stack up against the other top lightweights? How would he fair against some of his potential opponents? Rios vs Guerrero? Rios vs Katsidis ? Rios vs Soto? Rios vs Marquez? I believe Marquez would TkO Rios, Rios would TKO Katsidis. I have not seen Soto and Guerrero fight recently so Im not going to predict those fights.

    I am most confident that Rios would beat the **** out of Soto

    We simply don't know Rios and what hes has. You're slacking on Guerrero's skill set. I think Guerrero is a very very solid fighter...one fight away from greatness.

    Give him Soto first then Guerrero...that will tell us everything we need to know about the man. If he wins those then theres no one else in the world that should fight Marquez except Pacman of course.

    Rios would KO Katsidis.

    Rios will get nowhere near some people might think. What he did in his last fight at weigh in tells you a lot about his dedication and work ethic.

    He made fun of Roach's Parkinsons disease. He's a piece of **** for that. I wish him bad luck.

    I just think he has a **** them all mentality. Like I said we don't know much about him, but give him Soto first then Guerrero...that will tell us everything we need to know. Bring on JMM afterwards.

    Agreed. Rios and Guerrero would be a better fight than most expect. It would take Rios time to find Guerrero with something big, since Guerrero has the better footwork of the two. Good fight.

    :good
    RG is the better fighter, but Rioz comes to fight. This would be a great fight. The winner would be in line for a big fight at lightweight.

    Guerrero would be his best and toughest opponent. I would pick Guerrero just because I like him better as a person.

    Acosta and Antillon both are not all that good. I think Rios is the more complete and solid boxer of the three. Rios breaks them both down and stops them.
